What Clients Say

"Before AIQ, we were drowning in Jobber's clunky alerts—tires sat unsold while customers waited weeks for restocks on P225/65R17 all-seasons. Their custom system now forecasts our winter tire needs perfectly using local weather data; last season, we avoided a $8,000 loss on overordered Bridgestone Blizzaks and boosted service upsells by 22% on wheel packages. It's like having a dedicated inventory mechanic who never sleeps."

Mike Rivera

Service Manager, Riverside Tire & Auto Center

"Scheduling tire services during summer rushes was chaos with Jobber—double-bookings everywhere for four-wheel alignments. AIQ built us a smart calendar that syncs with our bays, Hunter equipment, and vendor deliveries from Continental. In the first month, we handled 15% more alignments without overtime, and our techs actually get lunch breaks now. No more vendor lock-in headaches for bulk radials either."

Sarah Chen

Owner, Apex Wheel & Alignment Specialists

"We used to chase payments manually after every tire install and TPMS reset, eating hours each week on mixed wheel services. The AI invoicing they created integrates straight with our QuickBooks and flags overdue balances instantly for jobs like rim repairs. Cut our collection time from 45 days to 18, and errors dropped to zero on billing for staggered tire sets. Finally, a system that fits our shop's pace, not some generic mold."

Common Questions

How does your custom system handle seasonal tire inventory fluctuations better than Jobber?

Jobber's templates often lead to generic alerts that miss nuances like regional snow patterns or SUV tire booms. Our AI analyzes your shop's historical data—say, last winter's 35% spike in all-weather tires—combined with local forecasts to predict needs with 92% accuracy. This means auto-reorders before stockouts, cutting lost sales by 25%. We build it directly into your workflow, integrating with suppliers like Michelin for just-in-time deliveries. Shops see ROI in under three months, owning the system without Jobber's $200+ monthly fees. It's flexible for your exact inventory mix, from economy radials to premium run-flats.

What makes your scheduling different for busy tire shops?

Tire shops face chaotic peaks, like spring alignment rushes, where Jobber's calendar clogs with conflicts. We engineer an AI optimizer that factors in bay types—dedicated tire mounts versus full alignments—and tech availability, reducing overlaps by 40%. It pulls from customer histories to suggest optimal slots, like bundling rotations with oil changes. Unlike Zapier's one-way zaps, our two-way integrations sync changes instantly across your POS and SMS reminders. Result? 20% more daily services without burnout. You own this, tweaking rules for your shop's vibe—no vendor-dictated limits.

Can your solution integrate with our existing tire shop hardware?

Absolutely. We specialize in tying custom AI to tools like Coats tire changers or Hunter balancers via APIs, creating a seamless flow. For instance, scan a tire's barcode, and our system auto-updates inventory while logging service details for invoicing. This beats Jobber's superficial plugs, which break during software updates 30% of the time. Our builds ensure 99.9% uptime, with data flowing bidirectionally to prevent errors in tread depth records. We've done this for 40+ shops, saving hours on manual entries and boosting accuracy for warranty claims on brands like Goodyear.

How secure is the customer data in your custom platform?

Security is non-negotiable in automotive, where vehicle and payment info is gold. We use enterprise-grade encryption and compliance with standards like PCI-DSS, far beyond Jobber's basics. Your data stays in a fortified, owned environment—no shared clouds risking breaches that hit 15% of shops yearly. Features include role-based access, so techs see only service notes, not full profiles. We've audited systems for chains handling 500+ daily tire installs, ensuring audit trails for every tire sale. Peace of mind: full backups and recovery in hours, not days.

What's the timeline and cost for building this Jobber alternative?

We kick off with a free audit to map your needs, then deliver a prototype in 4-6 weeks, full deployment in 8-12—faster than Jobber's custom tweaks, which can drag months. Costs start at $25,000 for a core system, scaling with features like AI forecasting, but it's one-time versus Jobber's $5,000+ yearly subs for a mid-size shop. Break-even hits in 4-6 months via 30% time savings on admin. No lock-in; we train your team for self-maintenance. Tailored quotes reflect your scale—small shops get lean builds, larger ones add multi-location sync.

Will your system help with tire upsell opportunities?

Yes, we embed AI that spots upsell goldmines, like recommending premium treads during low-mileage rotations based on driving patterns from your CRM. Jobber flags basics, but our predictive models analyze 80% more data points, increasing upsells by 28%—think $50 extra per service on wheel packages. It integrates with your email/SMS for targeted offers, tracking conversions in custom dashboards. Real example: a client shop added $120K yearly from proactive tire wear alerts. Fully owned, so you refine prompts for your customer base, no generic scripts.
